This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in electric vehicle infrastructure and related services. Businesses with expertise in managing large-scale infrastructure projects and those capable of providing comprehensive charging solutions will be well-suited to compete.

By participating, businesses can establish a strong presence in the rapidly growing EV infrastructure sector, benefiting both from public investment and expanding market demand for sustainable transport solutions. ## Notice The purpose of this ITT is to appoint a single Charge Point Operator, to deliver Bedford Borough Council's requirements for a "full turnkey" solution to supply, install, connect, commission, operate and maintain a network of charge points on behalf of the Council across the Borough.
